A Sweet Spirit vs. a Bitter Spirit

The Course of the Stronghold of Bitterness.

Taken from notes by Dr. Frederick Drummond

We will draw our analogy for the manifestation of this stronghold from Hebrews 12:12-17, Genesis 25:27-34 and Malachi 1:1-5, and how it played out in the life Esau. The heart or center of this stronghold or the ‘strongman’ is gone astray in your heart. From the center or heart of the stronghold come six parts or demonic powers attached to it in support of the strongman.

The Course of the Stronghold of Bitterness (Scriptures for each point taken from Genesis 25)
	6. Unwanted (Romans 9:13) = not needed (cast away) "I loved Esau and hated Jacob"		1. Unwilling (vs. 30) = won't cooperate "please feed me... for I am weary"
5. Unlikeable (vs. 34b) = not nice (ugly) "thus Easu despised his birthright"		gone astray in your heart = cold & indifferent		2. Unbelieveing (vs. 33) = cannot trust (insecure) "so he swore... sold his birthright"
	4. Unable (vs. 34) = never try (stunted) "and Jacob gave Esau"		3. Unforgiving (vs. 31) = don't forget "I am about to die...so what profit shall this be to me"

Bitterness...

clouds your judgment
polutes your speech and
corrupts your life.

Bitterness will slow you down until it stops you, all the while reversing the will of God for your life.

Bitterness produces a lost soul with no purpose in life. Full blown bitterness is irreversible.

Wherever you have manifested unbelief, the seeds of bitterness have been planted. God can't work in a bitter persons life because they don't have love or faith.
